July 1501 CE
The Third Armada, traveling north along the East African coast, arrives at the Swahili citadel of Kilwa, where they are greeted on the beach (or on a rowboat) by a Portuguese degredado, who informs Nova of the state of affairs in Kilwa.
Nova is wary of approaching Kilwa, and refuses to go ashore, despite repeated invitations; he has the degredado negotiate the provision of some supplies (probably citrus fruit) from the city for his scurvy-sick crews, and hurriedly moves on.
